In July, along with Judge John Stewart of Franklin County, I inspected the tuberculosis camp at Mont Alto, and during the same month the quarantine station maintained by the state on the Delaware. The governor is commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the state and the army consisted of the National Guard of three brigades, numbering about ten thousand men. The Guard is to a considerable extent supported by the United States under an act of congress which provides that it may be called into the national service. The money was, of course, a temptation, but the system is wrong in principle and would never have been established had I been governor at the time. 306
